Vienna architecture

A brief visit to Vienna – exploring its architectural wonders. Upon our arrival in Vienna, Austria, we disembarked near the impressive Maria Theresa Monument, flanked by two splendid museums. One of these treasures was the Historical Museum of Applied Arts, a grand edifice with intricately crafted details that left a lasting impression. 

Petrovicky, Nemcice, Radochovy

Petrovicky, Nemcice, and Radochovy - three delightful villages well worth visiting during the summer for their distinctive, old-fashioned charm, ambiance, and character.

Velhartice Castle

Is the stone castle located in the vicinity of Klatovy or, in a broader context, Zelezna Ruda? This historic castle, constructed at the onset of the 14th century, graces the landscape above the charming village of Velhartice. For those who venture forth to behold its grandeur, a plethora of captivating features await within and around this venerable structure. Allow me to delve into the details, providing both a British flair and an extension of the narrative.

Krakow - street photography

Exploring any destination, be it a quaint village or a bustling city, offers a splendid chance to capture captivating street scenes through the lens of a camera. Occasionally, individuals may raise objections or display discomfort when a camera is directed their way; nevertheless, the outcomes often prove to be splendidly rewarding. Moreover, a skilled photographer must refine the art of candidly capturing people in their natural settings, without causing any intrusion.

Klatovy Black Tower - rear view

For anyone venturing to Klatovy, a picturesque city nestled in the South Western region of the Czech Republic – and incidentally, my hometown – the defining feature that commands attention is none other than the Black Tower. Majestically positioned at the apex of 'Namesti miru' or the Square of Peace, this iconic edifice stands as a testament to the city's rich history. Notably, some individuals may also possess awareness of the enigmatic Catacombs, adding an air of mystery to the locale.
